I wanted to get this, but the samples are so tiny! I just don’t think I can get much use out of any of them. The only one I really want to try is the Josie Maran, so I think I’ll order that one in full size instead.

I have skipped this kit for the last few years due to product overload, but I use sunscreen year round, so I will probably pick it up when available in store with Play! card for extra points. I like how Sephora sell this kit early in the year so that we have all spring/summer to use up the products and donates to charity.
My recent favorite sunscreen is Cotz which I got in Birchbox last year. It seems like the exact one is discontinued, but it was tinted and had primer like texture and not greasy at all. My other favorite is Ipkn Apple Sun Cream which comes out white, but blend in matte. For body, I like Clarins Oil Spray.

Just bought mine on the app and used my points to get some SK-II. I love St. Tropez and have actually won a lot of their products from giveaways and sweepstakes and love how they have a wonderful scent and deliver wonderful tanned skin safely. That bottle is worth just as much as the entire kit I believe. I hope I like the other products and will see if I decide to keep it or return it once I get it in the mail. I am still on the fence but took the plunge because I’m in need of sun products

Got it! Even with the repeat brands I will use enough of this that it’s worth it and I can swap any that I can’t use. Used the code GLOWON and received a tarte highlighter! Love their Blush so that’s awesome to try out.

Well. I am not tempted. First off, I do not use apps to shop so I am always kind of turned off by app-only deals (even if they later open up to other methods of purchase). Second, the large self-tanner container is a huge turn off and not something I will ever use. Third, I see at least a few products (PTR, Shiseido) that are in this kit every year. Also I don’t like those Fresh balms — they actually make my lips crack and peel.

I totally agree – I have no interest in self-tanner or bronzer, and there aren’t enough new/non-repeat products to offset those. Also, I personally just really hate that Josie Maran SPF that’s in both kits this year.

@reneeglow, I thought I was the only one who hated that Josie Maran product. None of her products work on my skin, period. I did purchase the Sun Safety kit but I agree, so many repeat brands (from last year, and the year before). I wish they’d branch out more as there’s a tremendous sun protection market out there. I still believe sampling is the best way to get people to buy!

For me, I think it is the SPF ingredients. A lot of the chemical sunscreens give me rashes on my skin (I can sometimes get away with some of them on the body but never on the face) and I seem to be having the same problem with my lips. I pretty much can’t use any SPF lip balms.
